Dean, 
I'm putting the reply to your mail on  the list, as I assume it was 
sent directly to me by mistake. I have quoted everything, so everybody 
can follow along----*

I know somebody from Bitterne Brigades (Southampton), that play in a 
Bugle band.

I wasn't actually looking for someone specific, but just wondering if 
there were any BB/GB traditional British Brass Bands.

The scout organization, that my band belongs to, is not really a member 
of the international scouting organization, but rather the World 
Conference. The World Conference also includes BB/GB.

The band is a traditional British Brass Band (although under-staffed).
